Helston aircraft handlers have qualified from RNAS Culdrose and are now heading straight into service.
A class of newly qualified aircraft handlers have walked straight from the training ground to the deck of HMS Queen Elizabeth – as the aircraft carrier prepares for her maiden deployment to the Far East.
The 20 sailors celebrated the completion of their training at the Royal Naval School of Flight Deck Operations at RNAS Culdrose, Helston, on Wednesday, April 28.
Six of these new aircraft handlers will immediately join the ship’s company of the carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth as she prepares to head off on her deployment to the Far East.
